Webinar: Experimenting with Web3 – the risks and rewards of emergent technologies

Blog

You’ve no doubt heard of technologies like blockchain, NFT’s and the Metaverse. They’re still in their infancy but are shaping up to be the next generation of the internet: Web3.

Join us at 3pm GMT on Wednesday 1st March 2023 to learn more about what Web3 means for your organisation, and how – and when – to start experimenting with it.

 

If the first iteration of the web was static (Read), and the second interactive (Read-Write), Web3 is all about decentralisation.

It is Read – Write – Own

This decentralisation will enable people to truly own and manage their content, identity and money online. And this has huge potential to disrupt traditional models. 

As with all change, these technologies offer great opportunities.

It can feel confusing and overwhelming. At this stage the tech is still very complex to grasp and the UX is challenging. But that will change. So how do you make sense of it all, avoid getting left behind, and get started without betting the farm?

It all starts with experimentation.

Low cost, low risk experiments can allow you to explore the potential of Web3 for your organisation while also enabling you to iteratively navigate its challenges. 

This approach will not only enable you to find your way in Web3, but will also help you build a culture of innovation in your organisation, a necessity for our increasingly uncertain future.

Making sense of Web3

Join us at 3pm on Wednesday 1st March 2023 when we’ll be in conversation with Scott Doran, SVP Global Creative Licensing, BMG Production Music and Jon Moss, Customer Engagement Director at iconic retailer Fortnum & Mason.

We’ll be talking about how Web3 is going to disrupt what you do, how to approach it, and how to use it to build your organisation’s innovation and resilience muscles.

You’ll learn:

  • How to start thinking about Web3 – what is it, it’s potential and what it means for your organisation and customers.
  • How to approach Web3  – Questions to ask. Where to start. And where you shouldn’t.

You’ll hear from:

  • Scott Doran, SVP Global Creative Licensing, Sony BMG Production Music on the potential risks and possible rewards of Web3.
  • Jon Moss, Customer Engagement Director, Fortnum & Mason about how we’re creating a secure foundation for F&M to learn through play in Web3, without getting overwhelmed.

You’ll get:

Our free downloadable decision matrix to help you identify how to start experimenting with Web3 in your organisation.

Who should attend?
Anyone whose organisation is interested in getting started with Web3 but are unsure about how to do it.
